55 degrees is pretty cold for spraying auto finishes but that would normally result in sags, runs, very long flash time. What was the temperature of the metal? did you have a lot of air movement? It appears that you have too high air volume/too little liquid, or the gun is too far from the panel or moving too fast across the panel. I would cut the mix with the fast reducer due to low ambient temperature and practice on some disposable surface. The PPG epoxy primer that I have used lays very smooth and needs zero sanding, I use a conventional siphon gun at lower pressure than recommended or an airbrush.
